Question from Labour's Mary Glindon just now in parliament on whether the government will resentence prisoners under the dreadful #IPP sentence.

Short answer: we'll tell you in due course.
This statement by the Justice Secretary, Dominic Raab, to @CommonsJustice this afternoon, does not sound encouraging re the government's intentions on the proposed resentencing exercise for those under the #IPP sentence
The sheer complacency of Justice Secretary, Dominic Raab, in the face of the obvious injustices of the #IPP sentence exposed here. First by @jamesdalyMP, then by @neill_bob
This afternoon's @CommonsJustice cross-examination of the Justice Secretary Dominic Raab on the dreadful #IPP sentence started at 3.13 pm this afternoon

A short thread on today's judgment on the Downview prison transgender unit.

Short version. Guess what, the High Court agrees that rights are a pie.
I always thought that this would be a difficult case to win. I'm disappointed that the Court decided against issuing a more robust defence of the rights of female prisoners in relation to male prisoners who identify as women. There is, though, a lot to welcome in this judgment.
The court accepts that the decision to house male prisoners who identify as women in women's prisons means reducing the rights of female prisoners.

Rights are a pie, the Court agrees, and female prisoners are being expected to give up some of their share to accommodate males.

Important report by MPs on policing of the Sarah Everard vigil and the Bristol protests.

The government's plans to increase police powers against protestors should be opposed.

Link to the full report.

Highly critical of police tactics. Very different to the Inspectorate report from March, which concluded the police "acted appropriately".

Some interesting recommendations. Though not this one. This is a very idea bad idea.

And this recommendation is a bit confused. Home Secretary, surely?
